Yes, keeping cats inside avoids a lot of heartbreak and loss. However, I feel taking them outside in a harness/leash is the right thing to do, because my cat, for one, is fascinated by the outdoors. He LOVES smelling everything and chewing on the grass.

Also, because he’s had a chance to get used to being outside, that prevents him from freaking out and running away if or when he accidentally gets out of the house. It’s much safer and better if your cat understands what the outdoors is and how to find his or her way back into the house.

About Frog Applause

"Frog Applause reminds one of learning to read, in the sense that each word in the captions seems 'surprising' and new. Teresa's writing takes one back to that fresh state of mind (typical of, but of course not limited to, childhood) in which the brain, free of preconceptions, doesn't 'fill in' any blind spots along the way but rather wholly embraces the present moment as it unfolds. Every sentence is literally an imagination-expanding adventure." — Craig Conley, author of One-Letter Words: A Dictionary (HarperCollins)
